Wine of the Month by @willbedwards: Le Petit Roy 12eme année, Domaine Jean Royer

Posted on 2013-10-31 by tikichris

Here’s a new wine review from tikichris contributor Will Edwards, a “wine and food enthusiast who has fled the idyllic hills of Devon for the golden streets of London. A “relative newbie” to the world of wine, Will works in the Chelsea shop of independent wine merchants Lea & Sandeman where he loves “to hear what our customers are enjoying to drink”. These days – and just in time for nippy autumn – a good many of these Chelsea shoppers seem keen on Le Petit Roy 12eme année, Domaine Jean Royer. Continue reading →

Wine of the Month: Apres Le Pluie, Rosé, 2013 Domaine Jones, Languedoc

Posted on 2013-08-11 by tikichris

Okay, so it’s been a few months since my last WOTM write up. What can I say? I’ve been busy. Too busy to drink good wine? Of course not – just too slammed working on other stuff to blog about any of the commendable wines I’ve been sipping. Sorry. Anyway, I have a bit time on my hands today as well as a glass of a rather delicious quaff actually in hand. So, without further ado, here’s my Wine of the Season review of the very enjoyable Apres Le Pluie, Rosé, 2013 Domaine Jones, Languedoc, France. Continue reading →

Wine of the Month: 2011 Monte delle Vigne Lambrusco 2011

Posted on 2013-02-10 by tikichris

It’s crimson and velvety. It sparkles. It even comes from the ancestral lands of St Valentine. So why Lambrusco isn’t the official wine for couples celebrating Valentine’s Day is a bit beyond me. Having recently tried Monte delle Vigne Lambrusco 2011 during a low key and rather romantic evening out, I thought this lightly frizzante vino rosso would make a fine choice for February’s Wine of the Month.

Wine of the Month: Lamoretti, Colli di Parma, Malvasia 2011

Posted on 2012-09-29 by tikichris

A lightly fizzy bargain of a delicate and fresh white from the hills outside of Parma, Lamoretti’s sparkling Malvasia is nowhere near as famous as the region’s two most popular exports, Parma ham and Parmigiano Reggiano. Nevertheless, it’s a mouthwateringly … Continue reading →

Posted on 2012-02-01 by tikichris

Apparently, 2003 was a hell of a year in the Champagne region: an exceptionally harsh winter followed by an unseasonable spring and the hottest summer in more than 50 years. Of particular note was a severe frost on April 11th … Continue reading →
